BACKGROUND

This disclosure relates generally to a display system and morespecifically to a mounting kit for mounting a display device.

Digital display devices have become increasingly more prevalent as thedevices become less expensive to manufacture. Many such devices mayinclude touchscreens or other input mechanism and may be connected viawired or wireless networks to enable them to provide an increasinglylarge range of functions. Nevertheless, conventional mechanisms formounting such devices are overly cumbersome and inflexible.

SUMMARY

A display system includes a display device and a mounting kit formounting the display device in a variety of mounting configurations. Inan embodiment, a display device comprises a display panel, a wedge base,and an electrical interface. The wedge base extends from a back of thedisplay panel and has a depth that increases with distance from an edgeof the display panel. The wedge base may furthermore have asubstantially cylindrical cross-section. The electrical interface may belocated in a cavity of the wedge base for coupling to a data cable.

A mounting kit may include at least device-side bracket and a wall-sidebracket. The device-side bracket is structured to couple to a back ofthe wedge base and includes a first mating structure. The wall-sidebracket is structured to couple to a mounting surface and includes asecond mating structure structured to mate with the first matingstructure to secure the device-side bracket to the wall-side bracket.

The device-side bracket may comprise a flat plate for contacting a backsurface of the device and may include one or more fastener holes toenable one or more device-side fasteners to secure the flat plate to theback surface of the display device. The device-side bracket furtherincludes horizontal hooked edges extending away from the back surface ofthe device.

Wall-side brackets with different form factors may interchangeablycouple to the device-side bracket. For example, a short wall-sidebracket may have approximately the same length and width as thedevice-side bracket. Here, mounting fasteners for mounting the wall-sidebracket to the mounting surface are positioned so that the mountingfasteners secure to the mounting surface directly behind the displaydevice.

In another configuration, an extended wall-side bracket includes a flatplate having a greater horizontal length than the flat plate of thedevice-side bracket. The extended wall-side bracket has mountingfastener holes through a first portion of the extended wall-side bracketand horizontal grooves adjacent to top and bottom edges of the flatplate for mating with the hooked edges of the device-side bracket on asecond portion of the extended wall-side bracket laterally offset fromthe mounting fastener holes. This enables the device to be mountable ata position laterally offset from the mounting holes. Using the extendedwall-side bracket, the display device is mountable in a first mountingconfiguration such that the flat plate contacts the mounting surface andthe mounting fasteners pass through the mounting holes to secure theflat plate to the mounting surface.

In a mounting configuration for mounting the display device over asurface protruding from the wall (e.g., a door jamb), the mounting kitmay include a spacer between the first portion of the wall-side bracketand the non-protruding portion of the mounting surface. Here, thedisplay device is positioned over the protruding surface and thewall-side bracket secures to the base surface of the mounting surface.

The extended wall-side bracket may also include a protrusion in betweenthe grooves of the flat plate on the first portion of the extendedwall-side bracket for mating with a reciprocal notch of a side mount. Inthis mounting configuration, the flat plate of the extended wall-sidebracket is perpendicular to the mounting surface and the mountingfasteners pass through the mounting holes to secure the flat plate to aside arm of the side mount extending perpendicular to the mountingsurface.

The wedge base 130 extends from a back surface of the display panel 110.The wedge base 130 may comprise a substantially oval cross-sectionthrough a first plane (e.g., an x-y plane) with a height (e.g.,y-direction) and width (e.g., x-direction) that both decrease withdistance from the back surface of the display panel 110 so as tocomprise a partial quasi-conical structure. Additionally, the depth(e.g., z-direction) of the wedge base 130 increases with distance from atop edge of the back surface of the display panel 110 such that thewedge base 130 has a wedge-like cross-section with through a secondplane (e.g., a y-z plane) perpendicular to the first plane.

A removable back cover 120 couples to the wedge base 130. The removableback cover 120 comprises a substantially oval-shaped plate having awidth and height (e.g., x-y plane) that substantially conforms to thewidth and height of the wedge base 130 at the rear portion of the wedgebase 130. The removable back cover 120 may be structured to mate withthe edges of the wedge base 130 such that the removable back cover 120can be secured in place. The removable back cover 120 comprises one ormore fastener pass-throughs 122 that can be used to affix the displaydevice 100 to a mounting service as will be described in further detailbelow. Furthermore, the removable back cover 120 comprises a cablepass-through 124 that allows a cable to pass through the removable backcover 120 as described in further detail below. In an embodiment, thepass-throughs 122, 124 may comprise a set of perpendicular slitsarranged in a cross pattern through a soft plastic or other pliablematerials such that the plastic deforms to enable the fasteners (e.g.,screws) or cable to pass through the removable back cover 120.

FIG. 1C illustrates an embodiment of the display device 100 with theremovable back cover 120 removed. As illustrated in the view of FIG. 1C,the wedge base 130 includes a cavity 140 that includes one or moreelectrical interfaces 150.
